Here are some scenes from a hidden lake preserve for this #wednesdaywalk by @tattoodjay
Lots of yellow flowers were blooming and they had matching butterflies on them. I believe this is a cabbage yellow butterfly.
Meanwhile in the hidden lake there is a bigfoot taking a bath...
The lake is quite the spa treatment for the bigfoots. All the lily pads are in full bloom.
They were all in perfect shape. The only thing missing is a nice bullfrog sitting on the lily pad next to the flower. I heard quite a few in the reeds but didn't see them out amongst the lily pads.
The dragonflies were everywhere though. I managed to catch one hovering in place looking for a fly to attack.
The water in this hidden lake is quite clear and you can see the fish swimming around in an underwater paradise. I saw a large bass but wasn't fast enough to get a photo. These bluegills are easy to spot though.
Now for the birds. Here is a nice loud jay off in the distance. He only let me get one shot before flying off.
These lakes have tons of these red-winged blackbirds next to them. They are always posing for the camera.
Song sparrows are another common sight next to any prairie/lake area.
Cute shoot & post ;))
I finally found the place where bigfoot takes a bath.
Hhhhhhh aaa nice vunderfoollll big food plade amazing ;))
Nice pictures..
Thanks :-)
Lovely photos! Those birds are so wonderful little creatures.
They are out in force right now. They have to get all their work done before the next winter hits.
These birds are much smarter than me! 😂😂
They would end up being tiny chicken nuggets for the cats.
Oh! No! Chase those cats away! Tell them to go after mice and aliens! 😎🛸👽
Wow what a walk and post such incredible beauty there
Thanks for joining Wednesday Walk
The summer is great around here, not too hot not too muggy.
We had a hot sspell last week or maybe I felt it more as our AC failed, but this week AC is working and its so pleasant outdoors
Yike that's no fun, plus its a humid heat over there.
Ohh yeah so enjoying the AC working and cooler temps this week
I've been thinking of upgrading to a house from a condo but all homeowners I know seem to spend their entire weekend on the house/yard or fixing random things going wrong with them... Though I could really use more space.
When we retired we moved from a small condo which included all the ground work done to a bigger place with a big yard
We must be crazy lol
Nice birding photography.
Thanks :-)
loved the lily pads and waterlilies.
I just need to photoshop a frog onto one of the lily pads.
LOL
You always show beautiful pictures to entertain us all.
Thank you for sharing.
Especially the big foot one taking a bath :-)
